Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson For Immediate Release October 23, 2024 Contact: Alicia Pierce apierce@sos.texas.gov Texas Secretary Nelson reminds voters to check their ballots before finalizing their vote AUSTIN — As Texans go to the polls for early voting ahead of the November 5 election, Secretary Nelson encourages voters to double-check their precinct numbers and candidate selections before casting a ballot. “Texas has more than 18 million registered voters, and we want to make sure every eligible vote counts. All voting systems in Texas are designed to give voters an opportunity to review their selections before casting their ballot,” said Secretary Nelson. “I encourage Texas voters to use this built-in opportunity to double-check the selections.” Voters can find their precinct number by using My Voter Portal, which they can navigate to through VoteTexas.gov. Additionally, precinct numbers are printed on voter registration cards. In counties with digital recording machines, voters will see a review screen with all of their selections before pushing a button to cast their ballot. In other counties, voters will receive a printout of their selections to review before depositing the ballot. For other tips and additional information about voting in Texas, visit VoteTexas.gov, the state’s official online voting resource. If you have any questions regarding this announcement, please e-mail Alicia Pierce at apierce@sos.texas.gov.

Skillet Licorice set to perform this evening at the Select Theatre! They will kick off at 7 p.m. We hope to see you there! The members of Skillet Licorice are in town from San Francisco, but they are a band whose heart lies in Mineola. That’s right! Skillet Licorice, as it turns out, are devotees of the East Texas Serenaders. The East Texas Serenaders were a powerhouse string band from the 1920s and 1930s whose sophisticated take on hillbilly music launched the Western Swing movement. Hailing from farms around Mineola and Lindale, the East Texas Serenaders are generally credited with paving the way for the likes of Milton Brown and Bob Wills.
